Scratch 1.4 is still really new. The Scratch Team might still be updating the player.

Or your project might be a little big and you need to 'expand the java heap memory'.
I made this post. (In Advanced Topics, a sticky) http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=13963

That doesn't fix the problem

Re: scratch 1.4 project won't work in java player
The symptoms for me are that the Loading bar comes up but it never finishes. This is surprising because the project itself is quite small. Is that what you are seeing?
Have you tried chopping a throwaway copy of the project down until it does load...isolating the problem a bit?
Update: Nevermind...I think I figured it out. There was a list with null list elements being displayed. That seems to screw up the player. I changed the null list elements to blank list elements and the project loaded okay. Of course, I may have introduced other runtime errors by making that change...I didn't fully test it out

Ah! Thanks a lot!
I'll try changing the list values, I thought it was the ask blocks messing things up.
Ok, instead of having blanks in the inventory list it has "empty" string values.
